Total Credits: 1.0 Self Study
Both the Special Needs Trust and the ABLE Account are financial planning tools intended to work the same way - to give individuals with disabilities the ability to save without losing their public benefit eligibility. The personal financial situation of the individual - and the specific circumstances – will determine which option is the most beneficial or if the answer is BOTH!
Speaker: Kathy Birkes, Midwest Special Needs Trust, Columbia
